What's wrong with my JSON

[Jill Vieregge]

This is for a corporate-managed project in Work Management.

On creating an epic, I'm creating a child (which works).

I'm trying to copy a custom field from the "trigger" issue which is the epic. The Customer field is not visible in the Choose Field to Set drop down.

But my JSON is incorrect (I've tried a few things).

{ "fields":
  {
   "customfield_11964": {{triggerissue.customfield_11964}}
  }
}

What's wrong with it? 

thanks

Hi @Jill Vieregge,

Is it a single-user picker field? Try to use this:

{
    "fields": {
        "ccustomfield_11964": { "id": "{{triggerIssue.customfield_11964}}" }
    }
}

Its a date field. 

{ "fields":
{
"customfield_11964": { "id": "{{triggerissue.customfield_11964}}" }
}
}

Error is now: The Target start must be a string (customfield_11964)

@Jill Vieregge, this should work for date picker fields:

{
    "fields": {
        "ccustomfield_11964": "{{triggerIssue.customfield_11964}}"
    }
}

Let me know if it helps.

Yep. Thanks
